WARNING: ... -It's not Melee. -Again with the 3D intro. -Nice. Starting off with a fourth wall break. Good job Minori. -"In a series of 10 stories." -Minori. This is what I was afraid of. Tropical Rouge is already having an awful second half, and we get this. -Nice random opening. -136. STORY 1: -It's not Melee. -137. -Ah yes, The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly again. -138. -Those are awful swords. -Is this even a fight? No, that's just being dumb. 10 sins. -139. -That was the shortest story of all time. -Wait, that wasn't story 1? Are you serious? THE ACTUAL STORY 1: -It's not Melee. -140. -Ah yes, awful chibi drawings. Perfect. -The turtle's expression though. -Minori just fished Laura back. How? This isn't Minecraft. -Ok, but seriously, whoever made the eyes is definitely a child. -RIP the fish. STORY 2: -It's not Melee. -141. -Don't eat too fast. You're not Kirby. -Turtles can talk now. Ok. -And the turtle somehow grew in height. -More animals are coming. Ever heard of trespassing? -Even more cringe. 10 sins. STORY 3: -It's not Melee. -142. -Hey, finally someone who didn't get affected by the awful artstyle. Good job Chongire. -Wait. Shouldn't Chongire be scratching his tablet and not sliding through it? -Gen Z people in a nutshell. -2D Animal Crossing. -I see that Butler is also a librarian. -If you need the restroom, then go. Don't just sit there. -Taking procrastination to another level. -Manatsu's freaking face now. Three sins. STORY 4: -It's not Melee. -143. -Why would the dugong leave the aquarium? Unless of course, he was released. -Even worse artstyle. And even lazier animation. -Nice. Using Laura as a substitute for a dugong. -Yup. Run away. STORY 5: -It's not Melee. -144. -Careful where you swing those hands. -That thud though. I'm removing one sin for that. -Ah yes, the body switcher episode reference. Good one. -Don't. Ever. Show. Sango. With. Muscles. Ever. Again. -Welcome back Yaraneeda. We missed you dude. -And this is why nobody has leaves as feet. -ANOTHER body switch. So what happened with Sango and Asuka? -What even is this body switch short. -145. -146. STORY 6: -It's not Melee. -147. -And what happened with the body switching? No continuity at all. -Nice filler. -You've gotta be kidding me. THE YARANEEDA IS AN EARTH YARANEEDA. AS IN THE PLANET. YOU SHOULD'VE DONE THIS FROM THE BEGINNING. STORY 7: -It's not Melee. -148. -You really should've cut down the transformation. A LOT. -I'm not actually seeing Kururun transforming, am I right? -So it was all a dream. STORY 8: -It's not Melee. -149. -Nice job recycling Heartcatch Pretty Cure. You know, from over 10 years ago? I'm actually serious about it being over 10 years ago. -I feel like the voices are different, but I couldn't finish episode 1, so I don't know. -"They must be grandmas" -Minori. No, they're probably in their 20s at most. -Ok Cure Marine, you can calm down. -I feel like Cure Marine should've slipped out of Cure Blossom's grasp after a while. -So it was ANOTHER DREAM. SERIOUSLY?! STORY 9: -It's not Melee. -150. -Again with the awful expressions. -"Free refills!" -Sango. Yes. -Fourth wall break? -Nice lip animating. I just proven the animators are getting lazier. -Longest attack name ever. -Top 10 Rappers Eminem Was Afraid To Diss. -That definitely took more than 1 try to say perfectly. You need serious oxygen. STORY 10: -It's not Melee. -151. ORIGINAL 151 POKEMON LETS GOOOO -AGAIN with the lazy artstyle. -The artstyle is so bad that they forgot to draw Manatsu's arms at one point. -It's the purple Shy Guy from Super Mario Bros. -Shouldn't Laura be able to legally sue Asuka for taking photos without her consent? -ANOTHER fourth wall break. Sadly, the only good thing about this episode. -152. -I thought the 10 shorts were terrible. Laziest episode of all time.
TOTAL SIN COUNT OUTSIDE OF STORIES: 9 STORY 1: 18 ACTUAL STORY 1: 7 STORY 2: 16 STORY 3: 12 STORY 4: 6 STORY 5: 10 STORY 6: 5 STORY 7: 5 STORY 8: 8 STORY 9: 9 STORY 10: 6 TOTAL SIN COUNT: 111 Sentence: No More Shorts Episodes FINAL CONCLUSION: What did I even watch? Is this even Tropical Rouge anymore? This has got to be the worst episode I've seen in this anime of all time. Instead of having an actual good episode to redeem for what happened with the past episodes, we get this abomination. Even Healin' Good had a stronger second half, and it had a lot of bad episodes too, but not as bad as this one. I'm seriously losing faith in Tropical Rouge. The next episode BETTER be good.
